DASH Tool
The Disaster Available Supplies in Hospitals (DASH) is an interactive tool designed by ASPR TRACIE, with support from Healthcare Ready, that can help hospital emergency planners and supply chain staff estimate supplies that may need to be immediately available during various mass casualty incidents (MCI) and infectious disease emergencies based on hospital characteristics. The DASH Tool recommends average par levels for specific supplies that acute care hospitals may need to have on hand to respond to a disaster in their community until resupplied. Recommendations are based on user inputs about the size of the hospital, risks in the community, regional role/designation of the hospital, and other factors.
